From climate change to education and wellbeing, young people are raising their voices on the issues that matter to their generation and calling for adults to create a better future. This World Children’s Day, it’s more important than ever that the world listens to their ideas and demands.

Bringing together the values of the Social Impact and Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Programmes, this year’s theme is ‘inclusion, for every child’. We want to highlight NAE students’ work towards Sustainable Development Goal 10 – Reduced Inequalities, and give them the chance to have their voice heard on these issues in their communities.

As parents of current and future leaders, we invite you not only to learn more about World Children’s Day but to also take part in the day by celebrating with your children, your school, and other parents in the community and beyond.
